Lighted Mirrors

• What are watts and lumens in the context of LED lighted mirrors?

We always rely on very bright LED strips when creating LED mirror products. The lumens make it easy to choose how much light you want. If you’re looking for a lighted mirror, we always recommend lumens, not watts. Watts measures the energy that’s generated by a source. Then you have lumens, which tell you brightness based on the light output and other similar factors, which is why you want to see a high lumen number because that’s what brings in the right amount of brightness.

• Will the LED lighted mirror to bring enough light for a bathroom?

If you want to buy an LED lighted mirror, you want to determine if it generates enough light for the bathroom. Our LED mirrors can create enough light to ensure that you get to perform your grooming duties without an issue. This light is diffused so that it won’t shine into every bathroom corner. That’s why the focus is to have plenty of light and lumens, as that makes the difference. We always recommend installing a lighting system either on the wall or ceiling. According to the American Lighting Association, vanity lights require around 1600 lumens to have enough light for your day-to-day activities.SODLC mirror’s lux  as below.

• What’s the kelvin amount of the LED lighted mirrors?

The term color temperature is designed to showcase the amount of light generated by a LED. Color temperature was measured in Kelvin, from 1000 Kelvin and up to 10000 Kelvin. You will notice that the residential and commercial lighting units have a temperature of 2000 to 6500 Kelvin. The color temperature will dictate how everything looks and the results you get.

• What is the ideal color temperature that you need to use for makeup?

Does the color temperature affect your makeup?
In short, it does affect your makeup. That’s because if the bulb has a high temperature, it can come with a yellow tint. It can damage your skin, which means the skin can look tired and not its regular self. Also, if you are the one that wears makeup in the warm light, you might end up doing too much powder and foundation. A bulb bringing in a blue tint is also not that great. These can help bounce off various red areas, so we recommend having makeup lights right in the middle. You don’t want things to be too hot or too cold. A color temperature of 4000 Kelvin to 5000 Kelvin is what you want to focus on the most.

• Understanding the color rendering index for an LED mirror

The color rendering index for an LED mirror is a measure that helps identify just how faithful the light source can display colors for various objects compared with the standard or natural light sources.
Moreover, this helps you identify how color rendering light compares to the standard light source, even if they have the same CCT value. You will notice that it brings a medium number equal to the color rendering for the eight less saturated colors. Another thing to note is that manufacturers can test 6 more colors, which are saturated. Those won’t affect the CRI, although some manufacturers will also include saturated colors.
When it comes to the CRI values, these can go up to 100, that being the highest. Without a high R9 value, skin tones and natural finishes, such as wood, look lifeless. The high CRI value is excellent for a bathroom because it helps match your makeup to the skin tone due to highlighting it. If you have an LED mirror, the R9 value can be higher than 50, and we can customize it for you. The CRI should be 90 or higher for the LED mirror because it makes it easy to render the color efficiently. It helps reflect the human skin tone properly, which helps convey a much better result and quality.

• Can you dim your LED lighted mirror?

Yes, you can do that if you want. Our LED mirrors can easily be dimmed, and you can choose the brightness levels you want. We can also help customize wall switches that make it easy to control these light mirrors. We also ensure that you have suitable product compatibility to avoid any issues. We can help fully customize the light mirrors and ensure they work with your Lutron dimmers, if possible.

• What is the anti-fog mirror temperature range when the heated film is working

One of the things to keep in mind is that when you are in your bathroom, glass surfaces like windows appear whenever hot water turns to steam, and then it converts back to liquid. The issue is that whenever water forms on a surface like glass or a mirror, those reflective properties are not the way they once were, becoming a problem. How To avoid fogging of the mirror, the LED mirror surface temperature must be either higher than the air temperature or close to that, which is why we created anti-fog mirrors. The film will start heating the mirror surface if you have the anti-fog feature. The defogger will raise the mirror surface temperature. That means you don’t have to wait for the condensation to clear, nor do you need to wipe the mirror. Sodlc anti-fog mirror will have a temperature around 8 to 15 degrees Celsius over the ambient temperature.Our LED mirrors have a shut-off function for defogging. After the mirror gets heated for an hour, the heating film will auto stops heating, so it helps prevent energy waste while also protecting the environment!

• Is there a dark area in the lighting area of the lighted mirror?

Mirror lighting corner dark areas will affect the customer experience. Our mirrors use a unique lighting design to avoid the problem of dark corners when the lighted mirror is 10%-100% dimming.
